On the Novena campus, i recall it was mentioned at our campus tour, year 3 students will go for training etc. So do check on this but it could be year 1 and 2 will mainly be at jurong campus. Anyone can clarify here?

May not be most recent but interesting read:
https://thelowkeymedic.com/nus-or-ntu-medicine-how-to-choose-the-best-medical-school/?v=0f177369a3b7

In year 1, Jurong vs Novena campus around 50:50
They have ICC (interdisciplinary course with other faculty students) once a week. The contact time in Jurong will be decreasing in year 2 (no more ICC) and year 3-5 mainly clinical in Novena / TTSH.
They have science lab in Jurong and anatomy in Novena. TBL can be in either campus.
Lecture is pre-recorded so it’s OTOT for students to learn as long as it’s before TBL.
Understand from my child in LKC and bestie in YLL that YLL is currently gravitating towards LKC curriculum and YLL adapting house system following LKC. Anyway, both are good schools, your child should be at the age that he/she can choose the best fit for them.

Googled, the intake for Singapore Meds is 500+. Please dont include those study in oversea because each year there will hundreds of students going to oversea uni for meds. So I think the ex NUSH student said a few maybe wrong.

I had asked a relative whose child is already a doctor in meds and from R. Most tops scorers prefer to study oversea because of better recognition but the cost is so much high so the parents rejected the costly idea, hahaha. The percentages of meds intake are majority taken by R, then the rest of the top schools. His son always got no 1 among their cohorts in a top Primary School but when in R, he is just a norm. As I noticed, his son is very discipline and the both working parents never need to tell him to do his studies. I even received from the parent a pic of the ceremony after completed MD.

About the white coat ceremony, that person in forum didnt write it as a white coat ceremony but said first day. Have you been there?

Total intake for YLL and LKC for 2023 is only around 400 students (250 and 150 respectively), not including Duke NUS since this is post graduate program. Please note there were surge of intake during the COVID period but the number have been moderate down.
Absolute quantity wise in each local medicine school is true both R and H (not only R) have the most. This is not surprising since both R and H cohort are the biggest in SG, about 5-6x more than NUSH!
Overseas medicine, apart from the cost, may also pose challenges to get residency placement, except one doesn’t intent to practice in SG.
Nobody wear secondary school uniform in any chance, at least for the med course, not sure what the person meant by first day? Maybe can elaborate?

I saw somewhere someone not in this forum, posted that only a few able to get into Med. If I didnt remember wrongly about 3-4 which about the same size as top schools escept R. I also saw in a forum that said most of the students appeared in the first days of reporting to Med auditorium are wearing R uniforms. As I know most of NUSH students ened up in Science and Maths related courses and very little who will take up unrelated to Science and Maths. The students will struggle in unrelated subjects so less students will take the risk.

There are 21 students in Medicine from NUSH class of 2022, 11 students in YLL, 8 students in LKC and 2 students overseas. This represent 11% of the cohort, not only a few or small percentage.
And nobody came in their school uniform during white coat ceremony.

Congratulations! So both NTU and NUS sends out notifications for interviews on the same day! (24 march 2023)

Are the interview dates around the same time too? When are interviews for NTU?

I’m wondering, between end of A-levels to release of results and to getting notification.. there’s about 3 - 4 whole months, what does your gal do in the meantime? Thanks![/quote]

We received notification for NTU interview about a week earlier than NUS.
Yes, interview date looks similar, first half of April.

Hi, would like some opinions for my friend’s DD. She recently went for her audition/interview, and its a solo interview. At the end of it, the interviewer which only has one person, told her this ‘I hope you won’t be disappointed if you are not selected, if you are selected then I’ll see you again’. I am not able to give her any concrete reply, as my DD herself did not received that from both her interviews. Would appreciate if I could have some feedbacks on the interviewer’s speech or was that just a courtesy ending? TIA!

From few years back DS DSA interview experience, it was a solo interview with two interviewers (no P). He came out feeling good from the interview session, telling us there are some answers from him that made the interviewers smiling. But after further probing he mentioned at the end of the interview session, the interviewers told him “if you don’t receive the DSA offer, remember this is not the end of the world, work harder on your PSLE”. I thought that’s it...a polite rejection... Lo and behold, we received CO from that school
Hence, if it is not outward rejection, keep your hope alive

Yes, to all.

Thanks phankao

Does anyone know during boarding time, when will the student need to report to boarding in the evening, meaning after that it is not allowed to go out any more? Thanks.[/quote]During weekdays, they stay at boarding (not allowed to go out in the evening). They are released on Friday after school hours and repot back on Sunday evening by around 9pm

Dear parents
If your dc is studying at NJC, could you share why he/she choose this school, and good things & not so good things that you and your DC feel about it?
Thanks so much.

The reason we choose NJC :
1) Science-centric - math / science enrichment (eg.AIM) and more triple science classes
2) smaller cohort and class size - more attention and perhaps more opportunities
3) no affiliated school - less chances on existing cliques, important for my child teenage year who needs security of inclusiveness
4) non HCL environment

Good things :
Boarding program - helps develop independence and self discipline
Caring teachers
Caring seniors in CCA

Bad thing is it’s old building although well maintain. But we chose NJC more on their overall program rather than physical appearance.
